Harry-WSP JawDropView 3B2B w Parking Near SkyBus Overview

You know, I stumbled upon the Harry-WSP JawDropView place during a quick Melbourne getaway last winter, and honestly, it kind of snuck up on me as a hidden gem in the CBD. Tucked away on the 24th floor at 260 Spencer Street – yeah, that’s right across from Southern Cross Station – I rolled up after a late SkyBus from the airport, and the whole check-in was a breeze, no fuss with a code entry system that actually worked on the first try. Stepping into this 3-bedroom, 2-bath setup (they call it 3B2B, which is spot on for a group or family), the first thing that hit me was that jaw-dropping view – I mean, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Yarra River snaking through the city lights, with Docklands twinkling in the distance. It felt like you’d scored a penthouse without the price tag, especially at dusk when the skyline turns all golden and buzzy. The place smells fresh, like they’ve just aired it out with a hint of eucalyptus from the cleaning stuff – nothing overpowering, just clean and inviting after a long flight.

What really sold me, though, was how practical it all is for real travelers. Parking’s included in the basement, which is a lifesaver in Melbourne’s CBD where spots are like gold dust – I parked my rental without circling for ages, unlike down on Collins Street where it’s chaos during rush hour. The apartment’s got a full kitchen with decent appliances (the oven’s a bit finicky, but hey, it works for whipping up brekkie), and those two bathrooms mean no morning queues if you’re with mates or kids. It’s rated 8.3 for a reason – solid four-star vibes without feeling stuffy. Location-wise, you’re steps from the SkyBus stop, so airport runs are painless, and a short wander gets you to Flagstaff Gardens for a quiet breather amid the gum trees, or over to Queen Victoria Market for fresh produce and those killer doughnuts on weekends. Noise? Well, Spencer Street hums with trams and trains during the day – sort of a rhythmic city soundtrack that lulls you at night if you’re into that urban vibe – but earplugs helped on busier evenings. I appreciated the little touches, like extra blankets in the closet for those chilly Melbourne nights, and the Wi-Fi was speedy enough for streaming without buffering (a rarity in some spots around here).

All in all, if you’re after value in Melbourne without skimping on that wow factor, this place delivers – especially for groups splitting costs. It’s not flawless; the decor’s modern but a tad generic, like IKEA on steroids, and peak season books up fast around events like the Grand Prix. But waking up to that view, grabbing coffee from a laneway spot on Little Bourke nearby, and knowing you’re central yet not overwhelmed? Yeah, I’d book it again in a heartbeat. It’s the kind of stay that makes you feel like you’ve got the city at your feet, literally.

Reviews of Harry-WSP JawDropView 3B2B w Parking Near SkyBus

  • Sarah from Australia (10/10)

    The property is beautifully maintained.
    All facilities are fully functional and kept in good condition.
    The apartment is spacious and as someone who travels children this is a must, as it gives everyone space away from each other when needed.
    The bath is INCREDIBLE!!! I will be back just for the bath.
    The hosts very communicative and respond fast, even before check in.
